Unusual transformation of 4-hydroxy/methoxybenzylic alcohols via C[sbnd]C ipso-substitution reaction using proton-exchanged montmorillonite as media

We present here proton-exchanged montmorillonite-mediated an unusual transformation of 4-hydroxy and 4-methoxybenzylic alcohols to form symmetrical benzylic ethers and diarylmethanes under mild conditions. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations support a plausible mechanism, which includes a distinctive aromatic C[sbnd]C ipso-substitution reaction with a hydroxymethyl group as the C-based leaving group.
